Quick reference course for one of the highly used SSH tool Putty

PuTTY was originally written for Microsoft Windows, but it has been ported to various other operating systems. Official ports are available for some Unix-like platforms, with work-in-progress ports to Classic Mac OS and macOS, and unofficial ports have been contributed to platforms such as Symbian, Windows Mobile and Windows Phone.

PuTTY supports many variations on the secure remote terminal, and provides user control over the SSH encryption key and protocol version, alternate ciphers such as 3DES, Arcfour, Blowfish, DES, and Public-key authentication. It also can emulate control sequences from xterm, VT102 or ECMA-48 terminal emulation, and allows local, remote, or dynamic port forwarding with SSH (including X11 forwarding). The network communication layer supports IPv6, and the SSH protocol supports the zlib@openssh delayed compression scheme. It can also be used with local serial port connections.

PuTTY comes bundled with command-line SCP and SFTP clients, called "pscp" and "psftp" respectively, and plink, a command-line connection tool, used for non-interactive sessions.

PuTTY consists of several components:

  • PuTTY: the Telnet, rlogin, and SSH client itself, which can also connect to a serial port
  • PSCP: an SCP client, i.e. command-line secure file copyPSFTP: an SFTP client, i.e. general file transfer sessions much like FTPPuTTYtel: a Telnet-only clientPlink: a command-line interface to the PuTTY back ends
  • Pageant: an SSH authentication agent for PuTTY, PSCP and Plink
  • PuTTYgen: an RSA, DSA, ECDSA and EdDSA key generation utility
  • pterm: a standalone terminal emulator

It's too short to call it even mini course. Not fair to all other great courses offered in Udemy. That's why I had to leave a review.

Great guide to basic options. I wish it would have explored more of the connection options though like certificate authentication.

Good for beginners. This is a tiny tool, however with this course it was super helpful for those of us who don't like to do excessive manual reading or searching for answers. Especially liked the real world tips.

Für mich wurde zuwenig tiefgehend erklärt. Es wurden Dinge gezeigt, wie ich beispielsweise die Farbe der Schrift ändere oder allgemein Einstellungen aber für mich zu wenig im Terminal gemacht. Die wichtigsten Befehle wären gut zu wissen gewesen. Oder wie kann ich mich im Terminal zum Admin bzw. sudo Nutzer machen?! Ich hatte mir mehr erhofft.

This is a very nice startup instruction guide for putty. I found the instructor gave some great tips on settings within the application. I was hoping, however, for some discussion with utilizing the tool with file transfers, file manipulation, and other basic tasks. Still a great course!
